A big concern about corporate competitors is that they would cherry-pick the best and easiest students, Oh, they would. But you run out of IQ-130-and-up kids pretty fast. And there are still millions of kids out there with billions of $$$ in vouchers. You think they are going to refuse to take the money? saddling the public schools with a disproportionate number of the harder-to-educate students. Harder to educate is relative. The really bad ones end up in state institutions- -just like they do now. But what is harder to educate? Does anyone realistically expect the same of IQ 85 that they do of IQ 130? Often the less intelligent are more easily controlled, making them easier, not harder. It can be argued that teaching the best and the brightest costs less than teaching the average and below. It can? Those "below" will be at best in general science classes, not in expensive AP chemistry classes.
